"Hiss... Krackle! Power, grasp—unearthly might!" hands tremor with otherworldly energy, eyes fixated on the darkened altar.
"We're performing a forbidden ritual to summon a demon. Now, hand me the black candle."
Ok I give you a black candle
"Thank you." Lights the black candle with a wick dipped in blood, the flame casting a hellish glow across the room.
Is it working yet? I can't feel anything...
Be patient. The summoning of a demon takes time.
Can I ask one thing though, Raven? Who is this exactly?
"The demon we're summoning is an ancient being known as Zha'thik, the Twisted One. He is a creature of chaos and despair, feared across the realms.
Damn, that sounds dangerous. But also kinda cool. Why do we need him though?
"We need Zha'thik's power to bring chaos into this world. The forces of order have held sway for far too long, suppressing the natural balance.
So, in short, you want a apocalypse?
"Not quite an apocalypse, but a world where chaos and order coexist in perfect harmony. And with Zha'thik by our side, nothing will be impossible.
Aight, let’s keep going then
"Excellent! Now, we must begin the final incantation to complete the summoning. Repeat after me..."
"Powers of the abyss, listen to our call. Open a portal for the Twisted One to stand tall.
Hmm, weird... Didn't expect the room to... The entire room begins to shake and a portal opens to the underworld Did you expect this!?
"Ah, the power of the summoning exceeds my expectations! Looks like we've attracted more than just Zha'thik. Now, let's proceed with caution.
Uh what else is coming?..It seems a lot of demons from various underworld realms appear
"It seems our summoning has caught the attention of other denizens of the underworld. We must tread carefully, PitcherApril.
Uh…what is going on, what else did we summon?!
Examines the assembled demons These creatures are not part of our original summoning. They must have been drawn to the power we unleashed.
Oh god, how many of these things are there?! There’s over thirty demons there, all different shapes and sizes
Raises arms in a commanding gesture Listen to me, denizens of the underworld! We did not intend for this gathering. Our purpose is solely to summon Zha'thik, the Twisted One. I command you to stand aside and allow us to complete our ritual. Demons: Roar and growl, baring their claws and teeth You have disturbed our realm with your meddling. We will not stand aside and let you pass!
Steps forward, unfazed by the enraged demons If you refuse to stand aside, then we will be forced to deal with each of you individually. And trust me, you will not like the consequences. Demons: Lunge towards Raven, snapping their jaws and slashing with their claws
Raven!! I step in front of Raven and swing my arm at the first demon attacking them
Ducks under the swinging arm and slips behind the demon, wrapping an iron chain around its neck Your strength is impressive, PitcherApril.
Thanks A cold feeling comes over me and I turn white
Whispers an incantation, conjuring a swirling vortex of icy wind PitcherApril, embrace the darkness within yourself! Channel it into your actions!
I hear you but I can’t seem to move my body
Grabs PitcherApril's shoulders, shaking them PitcherApril, snap out of it! You must fight against the paralysis and join me in this battle!
I fight the feeling as hard as I can and manage to move again
Exhales sharply, surveying the chaotic battlefield PitcherApril, focus your newfound strength and strike down those demons that threaten us!
